Realistically Unbelievable Street Illusions by Erik Johansson

In this series of posts, we will highlight the most exquisitely fascinating artworks and inspiring images crafted by one of the most talented artist from the design community.

Erik Johansson, a full time photographer from Sweden, is our featured artist of the day. He studied computer engineer at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. He graduated in 2010 with a master in Interaction Design. Erik Johansson is a self-taught individual in both photography and retouch. He get inspiration from all things around him – from things in daily life to other artist’s works and photography.

The process of his workflow is divided into three different parts – planning, collecting the materials and putting the photos together. He completely believe that the best way of learning is by trying; maybe you don’t learn the fastest or correct way, but at least you learn what the different tools do and what you can do with them. For him, the realism has always been very important and it’s a challenge to make a sketch come to life.

Take a look at his work below and tell us your favorite unbelievable street illusions.
